Seminar 1: User Groups: To incorporate or Not,
Seminar 2: User Groups: Feedback and Answers for the Future

The User Group Network (UGN) is please to announce the offering of two
course relevant to the needs of all user groups at the Amiga'99 Show in St.
Louis.  These two courses are designed to help user groups determine what
type of organization they wish to have, as well as assist in coordinating
their efforts with that of Amiga Inc.

The first of the two seminars is a luncheon on Saturday, March 13th at 11:30
entitled "User Groups: To Incorporate or Not".  This seminar will be
located in the hotel restaurant.  This seminar is cosponsored with Amiga
Atlanta and Gateway Amiga Club.  In attendance will be Glenda Osby of the
Internal Revenue Service.   We have invited Glenda Osby of the IRS to
discuss the pluses and minuses of incorporating a User Group as a
non-profit organization.  There will be roundtable question and answers, as
well as a great lunch.

The second seminar is entitled "User Groups: Feedback and Answers for the
Future".  This seminar will take place on Sunday, March 14th at 10:30 AM in
the scheduled UGN classroom.  It is expected that the new President of
Amiga Inc., Jim Collas, will attend.  This is a must for those user groups
wishing to position themselves in line with Amiga Inc.'s vision of the
future.

The User Group Network exists to provide a valuable resource for all Amiga
user groups.   Not part of an Amiga user group?  Let us help you form your
own!  For latest information, see the UGN Web Page [http://ugn.amiga.org]
